Abstract excerpt
The functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) C3435T in exon 26 of the ABCB1 gene encoding the xenobiotic transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may influence susceptibility to several diseases, as well as the clinical outcome of treatment with P-gp substrates. Exposure to environmental chemicals is thought to be involved in peptic ulcer pathogenesis and then later in stomach cancer development. About 80% of...
